SP-93

An MSS Standard Practice is intended as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the user, and the general
public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of
products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conformance is established only by reference in a
code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable.

Unless otherwise specifically noted in this MSS SP, any standard referred to herein is identified by the date of issue
that was applicable to the referenced standard(s) at the date of issue of this MSS SP. (See Annex A.)

In this Standard Practice ail notes, annexes, tables, and figures are construed to be essential to the understanding of
the message of the standard, and are considered part of the text unless noted as supplemental. All appendices
appearing in this document are construed as supplemental. Supplemental information does not include mindatory requirements.

U.S. customary units in this SP are the standard: the metric units are for reference only.

Substantive changes in this 1999 edition are flagged by


parallel bars as shown on the margins of this paragraph. The
specific detail of the change may be determined by comparing
the material flagged with that in the previous edition.

Non-toleranced Dimensions in this Standard Practice are nominal, and, unless otherwise specified, shall be considered for reference only.

I FOREWORD I

The MSS Standard SP-93was originally adopted in 1982 for the purpose of providing a uniform method of
Liquid Penetrant Examination. It was specifically developed for the valvdpiping industry but may be used in any
application where this type of examination is suitable.

LIOUID PENETRANT EXAMINATION METHOD


1. ScOpE

1.1 This Standard Practice provides methods and


acceptance standards for liquid penetrant examination of steel castings and forgings for valves, flanges,
fittings and other piping components. It is applicable to examination of repairs as well as to initial
examination of castings and forgings.

4. PROCEDURIE
4.1 All exterior and accessible interior surfaces of

the pressure containing parts shall be examined by


the liquid penetrant method. interior surfaces not
accessible because of configuration, such as small
holes or bores, need not be examined. Examination may occur prior to machining or after machining at the manufacturer's option.

1.2 The methods of Section 4 provide uniform pro-

cedures which wiil produce satisfactory and consistent results upon which the Acceptance Standards
of Table 1 may be used.

4.2 Liquid penetrant examination procedure shall

be in accordance with ASTM E 165.

6.1 All indications shall be examined in terms of
the Acceptance Standards of Table 1.

Ure would permit the contained fluid to escape to


the atmosphere. For valves, the body and bonnet
(cover) and end pieces (of multi-piece valve bodies, e.g., ball valves) shall be considered the pressure containing parts.
3.2 Indication -The

6.2 Any indications which exceed the Acceptance


Standards in Table 1 shall be regarded as representing discontinuities and shall be re-examined to
verify whether or not actual discontinuities are
present. Surface conditioning may precede the reexamination.

3.3 Linear Indication -An indication in which the


iength is three or more times the width.

6.3 An indication may be larger than the discontinuity which causes it. However, the size of the indication and not the size of the discontinuity is the
basis of acceptance or rejection.

3.4 Rounded Indication - An indication which is


circular or elliptical with its length less than threetimes
its width.

able by the manufacturer to perform examinations in accordance with this Standard Practice shall be available
upon request. ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNTTC-1A provides a recommended procedure for qual*ing personnel.

7.2 Discontinuities in excess of those represented


by acceptable indications shall be removed by suitable means. If removal of surface discontinuities to
acceptable level does not result in reducing wall
thickness below acceptable minimum, the area shall
be blended smoothly into surrounding surface.
Where removal of discontinuities results in a wall
thickness below acceptable minimum, the resultant
cavity may be repaired by welding. Welded areas
shall be blended smoothly into surrounding surface.
7.3 Areas which as a result of liquid penetrant examination, have been weld repaired or from which
discontinuities have been removed without requirement for weld repair, shall be re-examined by the
liquid penetrant method.

7.4 The Acceptance Standards for liquid penetrant


re-examination required under subsection 7.3 shall
be as shown in Table 1.
